"one Upper" Fishing Buddies

[Bird Watcher]

Do any of you have one? You know the type. If you caught 10, he caught 15. If you caught a Five pounder, he caught a 7.

No matter what.

If I went to Lake of the Ozarks and caught a Pacu while crappie fishing, he caught 5 that went 15#.

Same guy never has any pictures, and if he tells me a "one upper" that supposedly took place in the past, he always has a reason why he didn't tell me about it at the time it happened. "Well, I would have told you about it but that was right before I bought my new refridgerator and I must have forgot"

So how about it? Anyone have any "one upper" stories? Or rather, does anyone have 3 friends that are "one uppers" since I have one?

Not when it comes to fishing stories, but I've got a couple of friends that are very competitive when we float together. They like to keep track of First/Most/Biggest. I'll sometimes talk smack just for fun, but I don't really care who "wins", haha. I usually just tell them that I would rather lose cacthing my 30 fish to your 35, than win 10-8.

2 men are in a truck going down a Missouri country road. The driver of the truck is from Missouri, the passenger is from Texas. A deer goes across the road 200 feet in front of them, and the Texan asks what it is. The Missouri man says "It's a deer, of course". The Texan says, "I didn't recognize it because in Texas, the deer are the size of a buffalo, everything is bigger in Texas". Later, they pass a turkey,and the Texan again asks what it is, and the Missouri man again states what the animal is. The Texan says "That puny thing is a turkey?" A few miles later there's a 2-ft. wide snapping turtle in the road, and the Texan says "Woah, what the hell is THAT"?

Missouri man says....."it's a tick"

BOOOOOOOOO No tick jokes I got into seed ticks yesterday and my legs are tore up... I Could post pictures but they would blind everyone!

Chris, yes know someone like that, Always bragged about this that or the other. One day a few people got sick of it and used a high starch substance to convince a bunch of Black Cheeks to visit his RV.. After the hunt we errr the guilty parties called to tell him how well they had done on the goose hunt and asked how he faired. He said he was limited in 10 minutes ( we watched him err damit he was watched and hadn't shot a thing ) Well the party pulled up two minutes later and asked to use his bathroom. He said sure let me open things up and when he did saw what was inside. He hasn't tried the one-up since

You only think geese are messy in a park lol.

That's a good one, I have to store it in my memory banks.

These are good ones. Keep them coming.

Yeah... My 7-yr-old. I've been taking him fishing since he was old enough to hold his head up and ride in a backpack carrier while I walk up a creek and catch smallies. He loved patting them on the head before I'd release them when he was around 6 mos.

A couple of years ago he invented the verb "creeking." (Anything you can do in a creek... Catch crawdads, build a dam, swim, skip rocks, oh and maybe fish). In the past, the fishing has mostly been me tying on new tubes, getting a lure out if the trees, untangling line, etc. Well, this year he is taking me to school... Last two times out he has caught the most and the biggest and he loves letting Mom know when we get home!

Used see a guy about every year when pheasant hunting in western Kansas. Always was limited out when we saw him, even at breakfast. We called him Topper.

Know a few fellows that round up to the nearest benchmark...Usually take it in stride if I enjoy their other attributes, good conversation, good cigars, vino, scotch, good cooking...just don't talk fishing with them.

I can count at least one I know,

That guy? I think his name is Bird Watcher. Thing is he backs up what he does. Blow by blow text messages, also there are photos attached. Seen him in action once too. This same guy does it with waterfowl, rubbing it in just to get under my skin. I try and try to get one up on him. No dice! hahahahaa Have learned things from his friendship though. That is worth the harassment Expect more from me buddy I just don't know when,
